Personal access tokens are used for authenticating with the Productive API. These tokens remain active indefinitely unless manually revoked.
Generation
Navigate to Settings > API integrations.
Select "Generate new token" to create a new token.
Once the token is generated, hover over its name to reveal and copy it.
Access Levels
When creating a token, you can define its access level:
Read-only: Allows viewing data.
Read/Write: Permits both viewing and editing data.
Note: For Zapier integrations, a Read/Write token is required.
Access Restrictions
API tokens inherit the same access restrictions as the user they are associated with!
If a user does not have permission to access certain features or data within Productive, these limitations will also apply to their API token.
Password Change and Tokens
Changing your password will invalidate your existing API tokens. If you update your password (Settings > Security), be sure to generate a new access token afterward.
Additional Information
Productive API has a limit of 100 queries per 10 seconds.
Enabling/disabling two-factor authentication does not invalidate existing tokens.
These tokens are linked to a specific user. If the user is deactivated, the token will automatically be deactivated.
